Hi Tom,
I'm in Los Angeles and among other things, I'm an independent researcher working to define a diy-friendly protocol for agro transformation of filamentous fungi. Most of my research is published on Instagram (
@everymanbio) and related website. AGL1 and LBA4404 have both been used in transforming Agaricus bisporus (the white button mushroom) in the research that I'm replicating.
My understanding is that this organism requires a permit, which I do not mind at all pursing. I'm just not sure exactly how to go about it. Perhaps that's something you or someone else in the community can help me make happen.
I have a business / commercial postage address. Please feel free to email me directly if you'd like to follow-up in more detail: josh @
